Frank Wilczek is world-renowned both as a theoretical physicist and as a writer and speaker on science. He has received many honors for his work, notably including the Nobel Prize.
Frank has literary and inventive projects in the works. Frank has an insatiable appetite for puzzles and games. He is also an avid, though mediocre, musician. And he is proud of his family.
Wilczek has made seminal contributions to fundamental particle physics, cosmology and the physics of materials. His current research focus includes Axions, Anyons, and Time Crystals. These are concepts in physics which he named and pioneered. Each has become a major focus of world-wide research.
In recent years Frank has become fascinated with prospects for expanding perception through technology. He is developing hardware and software tools for this.
He has authored several well-known books, and writes a monthly "Wilczek's Universe" feature for the Wall Street Journal. His latest book, Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality will be released on January 12, 2021.

Any conversations that makes you pause about consciousness is exciting thank you
As a therapist that works on winding back experiences to remove trauma. Free will is an imperative process to accept the release of emotion energy
I just added all those books to my amazon wish list. I can’t wait to start reading them.
I hope you enjoy them! Stay in touch with me!
"EXCELLENT"... having bouquet of guests which includes such great / renowned scientists including Noble Laurates in one go , is a true / real , beautiful , fascinating New year gift to we viewers to bring us closer to TRUTH , the ultimate quest of all human beings...... thanks 🙏.
मैदान से हारा हुआ इंसान तो फिर से जीत सकता है लेकिन मन से हारा हुआ इंसान कभी नहीं जीत सकता इसलिए मन से कभी हार मत मानना🖋️✨💯
"Certain kinds of minds emerge from matter" Frank asserts. Like a chess or go engine. "We know because we put it in there."
That's a contradiction, isn't it? Did it emerge or did we put it in there? Is it a discovery or is it an invention? We did put it in there. True. As a chip designer/software engineer, I have done it myself. But, I don't suggest that it emerges from matter.
But a physicist is not a philosopher and we can allow him to make inconsistent claims as such. Even philosophical arguments of the best philosophers are riddled with equivocation if not outright inconsistencies...
Still enjoying this wonderful conversation. 🥰☮️
Breaking all of this down verbally and mathematically is wonderful but my experiences spiritually are contradictory. This struggle not only keeps me forever questioning but forever in awe. I hope I never reach the peak of this mountain.
Brian Keating rubbed me the wrong way that interview. That is about the most unspiritual thing I could possibly say lol But it's the truth.
Mystery Bewilderment Awe Thank you! Please keep these conversations going.
The world is made of Light...
Namaste for I am 💫❤️💫learning was you speak🌎💚✌🏼🎶💜
Very Good Sir 💓 from Pakistan
I think we have free wills, otherwise how we manifest desires! Those we can't manifest because of not believing.
Don't try and fit an ocean into a teaspoon ie atttempting to trying to fit the knowledge of cosmos into the Human brain, be comfortable with not knowing. Everything is just a label anyway and we can't truly understand anything external to us.
See spiritual science by Eric Dubay
Why do mass, energy, consciousness, or mind have to emerge from anything. There is no one thing that the others emerge from
We already know that mass, energy and waves (the fundamentals of the physical) are one (remember E=mc^2 and E = hf). Our attempts to fit the mind (the mental) into the physical result in this premature conclusion called emergence. I am glad some of us are not convinced by that argument. Deepak Chopra also highlighted this by his amendment of the second big question: is there a biological basis for consciousness?
Electrons can only be seen when it is observed.
Everything in universe is connected as it was ultimately one same thing. Or just 1. So, to fully explore universe, we need to disconnect our self from the physical realm and travel like “electron”, where they experience a whole new dimension of time according to our present understanding.
Our consciousness cannot be measured neither science can explain it accurately. Maybe what we call “consciousness” might be the tiniest part of ”humans” because after we die no weight is lost. For us to travel in lightest way we need to travel in the form of consciousness. And I don’t think we will ever be fully be capable of exploring the whole universe physically because the universe is expanding of course. We need to fully understand our mind then only can we know how to exit it as well! So, seeing the nature of electrons and my basic understanding of qantum physics, we have unlimited possibilities until we are observed so, i can be anywhere cause technically i am my only observer(no observer)which means i have endless possibilities in the form of what we call”soul”. So if the base of all thing is one source(bigbang), we all are just fragments of one energy or whatever it was. Maybe everything is connected on tiniest level. Maybe what we call quantum physics is really a study of human consciousness but in terms of science cause it defies common sense. I don’t think we can find that answers in science cause we would have to take a deep look at the thing which no one have ever seen! And yes, quantum physics can brought many great inventions but i think it has its limit. Humans have been surprised time and again by new concepts, ideas, knowledge during the course of our human civilisation when we thought what we had was the limit. So, just a thought, maybe the information age made us believe on data too much rather than looking the answers within the first thing that made us possible. “Consciousness”
Hinduism and astrophysics
Hinduism is one of the oldest religion and it has deep ties with human spirituality and universe. We believe that lord shiva is the one who taught us how to meditate. And coincidentally, we believe he used to travel various time and dimensions via meditation. We can assume that he taught us how to exit our body. Lord shiva had third eye in his forehead. Science believes that our consciousness lies in our forehead. So maybe, what we call Lord Shiva was a highly intellectual being who used to travel in time and space. Being one of the oldest religion with lots of mysteries and its weird ties to the current world has led me to this conclusion. As scientists say
We know we will never know
Maybe to find how the universe was created, we need to find how consciousness came into existence. No one would ever question the mysteries of the universe until and unless they have the capability to think aka “consciousness”
Maybe we have been asking the wrong question the whole time. “Why do we think?”
And another interesting concept is that we can only view the moon after it is observed. Maybe it has already been “observed” as “moon” by the universe. Hence, if we are able to dissect it into the smallest form then we can see the quantum physics.
I am no expert in anything. I am just 21 years old and I don’t have the necessary information for such analysis. What i did was just disconnect myself from all the informations and simply relied on what made sense to me.
Could you please prove me wrong? Cause it’s blowing my mind….
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇😇😇😇 In short we can collectively say AHAM BRAMHAMASI🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What's Leonard doing here😮?
ads every 3 minutes you have to be kidding me I am now bailing out
So wrapped up with world system intelligence...
And unable to see flat earth awakening Eric Dubay
I think free will is an illusion. You may think you are free but are you really??
No no no I'm just not doing all these trashy adverts!
Seems the noble prize has degenerated like everything else. Frank isn't very convincing as a top physicist.
First let me say I enjoyed Frank's book "The Lightness of Being" and his admission of a viewpoint of "ether." However, I must take issue with some statements.
17:09 Frank Wilczek: "One ten thousandth of the diameter of an atomic nucleus" This is such a gross oversimplification and misrepresentation that it borders on boldfaced lie.
17:20 Frank Wilczek: "one second per the lifetime of the universe." This is such a gross oversimplification and misrepresentation it borders on boldfaced lie.
We are not served by this sort of hyperbolic nonsense. It makes science look like a religion. The facts of engineering and sources of error preclude such a level of precision from being factual. Science can be good and hyper-valuable without this illusion of perfection.
Deepak asks, "are they material entities" and Frank deflects with
51:33 "well, by definition, that's what matter is" ...and that was quite disingenuous to avoid the question which should obviously be answered "no."
Finally however, when he comes to the conclusion that determinism is true and free will is "useful and valuable" I think he makes a good point but by prevaricating on the topic instead of assenting to what Leonard said, he confused instead of clarified.
Useful is different from true. Valuable is different from true. Frank obviously believes free will is valuable, but he does not believe it is true. This is the fact that he was evasive about because there are indeed problems, societally, with the idea that none of us have a choice. ...but perhaps sticking our head in the sand about it can also lead to serious societal problems too.
A bunch of arrogant atheists
